Note that the srcdir!=builddir feature of jhbuild doesn't actually build 
everything srcdir!=builddir.  Some modules in the .modules file are 
marked as not supporting srcdir!=builddir builds so it doesn't attempt them.

If you wanted to test this fully with jhbuild, you'd need to remove the 
flag from the .modules file.
